Knowledge Management Ninjas, StumbleUpon and Effective Internet Presence

"The internet is rich but unsatisfying" according to Rebecca Jordan, co-founder and co-director of pceducation.co.uk.

I beg to differ. And here's a few gems which I would suggest might change her mind.

• Steve Rubel  on  Google Reader as  "the holy grail of personal knowledge management".  I've been using  Google Reader for a while, but I am only scratching the surface. Worth learning about, methinks.

• How to become a top Stumbleupon user or why you shouldn't bother: I've never quite understood Stumble Upon, but this should explain it.  Actually, this DoshDosh site has loads of stuff. Seth Godin pointed to it. So there's this as well: The Importance of Social Media Marketing Why You Should Learn and Master It:  More to read.

• And Andy Piper points to  Ted Demopoulos'  new ebook,  Effective Internet Presence.   As Andy says:

"It’s a free (CC-licensed) PDF download, and worth a read. It’s short (less than 40 pages), highly readable, and contains some really useful ideas."

I have a sense that very few people pay any attention to their own internet presence. Firstly, there's a hint of narcissism about it. Added, to the pain of  the forced obligation that's been imposed on you by others.  A bit like the dentist. Or maybe that's just me.  Plus I've just googled myself and I am not even the first Mark Lloyd. What's the world coming to?  I think I'll have to read Ted's book.

Thanks for the comment Ted. I'll let you know how I get on with your ebook.

Hi Mark, been a while nice to know you're reading my blog - hope you're well. As I said in the post, it's a pretty quick read, you can flick through the ebook in about 20 minutes.

I'm another unenlightened StumbleUpon person, I'll have to take a look and see if I "get" it now. del.icio.us, on the other hand...

Heh Andy, thanks for the comment and of course I read your blog! There's something about meeting someone which means that you want to keep up with what they are up to. I don't think it's quite the same in a virtual world.
